AbstractBackground and ObjectivesThis article reviews an instrument used in cross-national research with dementia family caregivers—the Revised Scale for Caregiving Self-Efficacy (RSCSE). Although the RSCSE has been translated into multiple languages, few studies have examined scale performance across samples. We examine congruence of psychometric, reliability, and validity data to inform research and practice.MethodsWe conducted citation searches using Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and PsycINFO. Identified dementia caregiving studies cited the original RSCSE article and described results of English and/or non-English translations of the scale.ResultsPeer-reviewed published studies (N = 58) of dementia family caregivers included data for Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Italian, and Spanish translations of the RSCSE; the majority (72%) reported use of non-English translations. Studies utilizing confirmatory factor analytic approaches reported findings consistent with the original development study. Internal consistency, convergent/discriminant validity, and criterion validity indices were congruent across diverse cross-national caregiving samples assessed with different translations. Data supported the RSCSE’s sensitivity to change following specific psychosocial caregiving interventions.DiscussionThe reliability and validity of different translations of the RSCSE support continued use with cross-national samples of dementia family caregivers. Limitations of the scale point to the need for further self-efficacy measurement development within caregiving domains. Consistent with Bandura’s discussion of social cognitive theory in cultural contexts, personal agency for caregiving challenges remains generalizable to cross-national populations. This review discusses the implications for cross-cultural research and practice.

Self-efficacy expectations for functional activities were defined operationally by having individuals rate their perceived judgment or confidence in their ability to perform each specific activity of daily living (ADL) (bathing, dressing, transferring, ambulating, and stair climbing) at a given point in time. The Self-Efficacy for Functional Activities (SEFA) scale initially included 27 items focusing on efficacy expectations related to performance of each ADL independently, with adaptive equipment, and with the help of another person. After initial pilaf testing the scale was revised to include 9 items which focused on efficacy expectations related to performance of each ADL independently, or with the help of another person. Two additional studies were done and provided some evidence for the reliability and validity of the SEFA when used with older adults.

This study aims to determine the relationship between factors that influence entrepreneurial intentions which consist of entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial attitudes, subjective norms, self efficacy, and mentoring. Research on factors that influence entrepreneurship has been carried out by many previous researchers. However, mentoring is a variable that is rarely studied in previous studies. This study will discuss more about the variable mentoring. In this study, the quantitative paradigm was used as the basis of this study, with the type of descriptive research. The object of research used is the entrepreneurship study program. While the analysis unit used is an individual. Data collection methods in the form of questionnaires with 24 indicators with an interval measurement scale that is a 5-point Likert scale. The sampling design used is non-probability sampling, namely judgment sampling with students and students majoring in entrepreneurship as active as a sample. The number of samples used in this study is 85 for preliminary studies, and 157 for actual research studies. After the data is collected, the data is then tested for reliability and validity using Cronbach's Alpha and construct validity using Pearson Correlation and also Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). After passing the reliability and validity tests, of the 24 indicators used previously, only 15 indicators met the requirements for reliability testing and validity testing. Then the data was then analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results of this study are from eight pre-determined hypotheses, there are two hypotheses that are not supported by several reasons. From this study, it can be concluded that there is no relationship between entrepreneurial education and student self-efficacy, and the absence of a relationship between mentoring and student self-efficacy.
